I am in awe of your detail. This is a stunning painting with powerful imagery that represents a season or seasons in our life, as you stated in your description, are rarely sought...yet we hope that they will be blessed so as we go through it we will be a better person for it. A masterful piece. Thanks for sharing your talent!

Helena, A few weeks ago I ordered a print of "Bless The Fire Through Which We Walk" because it really resonates with me as a perfect reminder that - the trials we endure are lessons to enbrace -. I thought you'd enjoy knowing that I have it placed prominently at my work desk, where I can see it throughout the day, where it lifts my spirits every time. Your work is incredibly beautiful and filled with truths. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us!

Description:

Bless the fire through which we walk. Trial by fire is when we face the most difficult challenges in our lives. Rarely sought, everyone enters the flames sooner or later. Some persons (and sometimes entire nations) live an existence that is one long challenge after another and endure the unendurable, release occurring only through death. For others it occurs in a less drastic form, and a phase of peace follows in which to rest and replenish prana. No matter how torturous, the challenge will eventually run its course and the flames subside. One way or another it will pass. Like the seasons, tides, cycles of the moon and stars, this is inevitable. After a crisis or prolonged ordeal has passed and life stabilized, I’ve sometimes dusted away the gray ash, and found nothing but coals and chips of blackened bone still warm enough to seer my palm (and heart). There always comes a point, however, when pondering the cinders and charred bone, I realize they are precious as jewels. The intense heat of the fire burns off the dross, no polluting base metals remain to dull its glimmer. In this painting I’m attempting to portray that moment of realization, that walking through fire was also a form of purifying radiance. The flames have tempered and fine tuned the spirit, causing it to resonate in mellow tones, and from the ashes emerges a winged spirit of pure gold. The human spirit is resilient, we are far stronger than we imagine. All forms arise then fall back into the void from which they came, nothing lasts forever. Trust the process and open the inner eye. Move into the moment, into the Now, for we are already whole. The person in the image is rising from ashes of the past and unfurling her wings, lifting her head and preparing to stretch her neck and back. She is radiant and illuminates the night with her power. She knows the source of her strength is within herself and all sentient beings, nobody and nothing can take it away. The circle represents wholeness, completion, balance, the feminine, moon and sun.
